Normality Oxidizing Agent And Reducing Agents Class 12th Chemistry By Arvind Arora JEE NEET Prepare
We define normality as the number of grams equivalent to solute that is present in a one-liter solution. So, the unit of normality is gram/liter. We denote normality with the letter 'N'.
An oxidizing agent is a substance in a redox chemical reaction that gains or "accepts"/"receives" an electron from a reducing agent. In other words, an oxidizer is any substance that oxidizes another substance.
In chemistry, a reducing agent is a chemical species that "donates" an electron to an electron recipient. Examples of substances that are common reducing agents include hydrogen, the alkali metals, formic acid, oxalic acid, and sulfite compounds.
